Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스물다섯 해를 보낸 발메낙이 호그스헤드의 깊은 황금빛을 잔에 드리운다. 코에는 잘 익은 사과와 헤더 꿀, 마른 풀의 향이 그윽하게 피어오른다. 입에서는 농축된 과일 단맛과 바닐라가 매끄럽게 흐르고 오래된 오크의 향신료가 깊이를 더한다. 56도의 도수가 긴 숙성에 둥글게 녹아들어, 꿀과 가벼운 향신료의 여운이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
more or less the same profile on the nose, it’s just that the casks was probably more active – which is what the colour already suggested. So a little more vanilla on top of all these grasses, vegetables and herbs, as well as whiffs of butterscotch, mashed potatoes and turnips. With water: a little wet cardboard, more grass, more porridge, more apple peelings, even a little wood smoke
restaurant Palate
exactly the same differences again, this has more wood sweetness, apple compote and pie, vanilla, then apple peelings and plantain. It’s becoming quite spicy as well, with pepper and cinnamon. With water: once again, water works very well. Very zesty citrusy profile, tangerines, grapefruits, green apples… And drops of honey
timer Finish
good length, zesty and spicier. White pepper
